Since the English language has an significant amount of words that end in the silent “e”, folks should start branding more sites like eLand, eWorld, and other “e” and common suffixes and then hire corrupt corporate lawyers to go around suing all the sites that end with “e”. *shaking head*

EBay does not own the English word “Bay” and any site that chooses to sell a product that happens to end with a silent “e” should not have to deal with this nonsense. These judges were obviously not thinking or were paid handsomely. I propose that all the sites that are obviously not trying to take advantage of Ebay’s branding (Perfume Bay is an obvious one, I’m sure there are others) should band together and start a counter lawsuit against EBay since their use of the word “Bay” has nothing to do with its English meaning, and they have to right to take away other companies’ right to use that word in its proper English context to brand their products.

oh boy… this should help her business sales for sure, but eBay will fight to the death for anything they think is theirs.

I had a domain with ebay in the name and I used it for over a year with no problems until their lawyers found out it existed. It didn’t take them long to send a lovely cease order to us.

Home tame……..bay doesn’t fall prey. Scott
